The Klaus Kapitza-designed 8 Series (chassis code E31) was launched at the Frankfurt Salon in 1989. Though it effectively replaced the 6 Series, it was originally intended as an additional model line - an upmarket range with superior performance and price tag to match. From mid-1995 the 840Ci's original 4.0-litre engine was supplanted by a 4.4-litre one. The notably tidy automatic example being sold is finished in the attractive combination of Bahama Blue bodywork and Cream hide interior. It has covered 69,200 miles and has had just five keepers from new, the most recent of whom has covered just 1,000 miles a year in his two years of ownership. He informs us that the V8 engine, transmission and interior trim are all in 'excellent' condition and the bodywork and paintwork 'very good'. He is offering this pleasingly unmolested BMW complete with its original book pack, well-stamped service book and collection of old invoices and MOT certificates, plus one valid to November next year.
